Course Overview
This course offers a full day of Robotic MIDCAB exposure and a day of presentations and hands-on sessions in a simulation environment. This will be the best preparation for one-on-one training and proctoring to start up a programme at your own centre.
Learning Objectives
- On completion of this course you will understand the flow, inclusion and contraindications for MIDCAB
- Be informed of the international collaborations and developments both in Europe and the USA
- Have access to multiple hands-on sessions to train working with a surgical robot and performing a beating heart anastomoses in a safe but real life environment
- Meet experts in the field and create contacts to start planning your own programme
